Best iPhone deals
Smeology has carried out some research into likely costs and prices of the iPhone 4, find details of our iPhone 4 deals below.
Some of the networks are still to announce their iPhone 4 tariffs but let’s look at the that are being talked about.
If you want a free Orange iPhone 4 16GB on a 24 month contract then you will have to fork out £75 a month. Ouch! The cheapest alternative if you want a contract iPhone 4 on Orange is to pay £169 for the iPhone 4 on a £30 a month deal, which will give you 150 minutes, 250 texts and unlimited data. You can also add tethering from £5 a month
Vodafone have not yet officially released their iPhone 4 tariffs but the rumours are that an iPhone 4 on Vodafone will cost from £35 a month with the 16GB handset costing £89. It looks like the Vodafone iPhone 4 deals will be cheaper generally, which is good news all round.
By contrast, the obvious limitation of getting an iPhone on O2 is that they are not currently offering unlimited data. O2 iPhone 4 data packages start at 500MB and go up to 1GB, which should be more than enough for most people. Taking a 24 month iPhone 4 deal for comparison, £25 month will get you 100 minutes at the 500MB level, increasing to £60 if you feel you need 1GB.
Don’t discount the iPhone 4 on O2 though, you might also want to look at their Simplicity range; top up £10-14 per month and grab 300 texts with the 500MB data deal for example. That is the best starting point and it is easy enough to change tariff once each month.
As the number of iPhone 4 deals on the market increases, the number of iPhone apps increases and the number of iPhones out there increases, the Apple iPhone success story just goes from strength to strength.
